Planet Waves Chromatic Headstock Tuner  

This tuner does what the name implies, but it is very difficult to position on some guitar headstocks and still be seen because of the fixed head.  I prefer the mini planet wave over this model and it is less money.  My recommendation would be to purchase two Snark tuners for the price of this one planet wave.

I have had two of these tuners, and I certainly would not bother with a third. The first one worked great for about two months, and then proceeded to automatically shut off immediately after start up. I returned it, and got another, which worked for all of four days before it demonstrated the same problem. I gave up on it, then spent the extra money on a different tuner.  And I have been happy as a clam for over a year (although I admit to not  truly knowing if clams are happy, or why.)

While I initially liked the back-lit display and its low cost, if it’s not going to last worth a hoot, I don’t need it— it wastes my time and money. And I sure don’t want my tuners acting like a petulant chump just before a gig. I’ve been playing for over 40 years, and I’ve had plenty of tuners in my day.  From a durability standpoint, this is the worst I’ve ever owned. Mind you, this tuner was not abused, and never dropped. Further, I agree with the reviews that mentioned it is flimsy in design, and is not the most   convenient to clip to various headstocks.

I think this tuner works OK, but I found it hard to find a place to mount it on my headstocks.  The way the clamp mechanism works doesn't make me feel too confident it's going to stay put.  I think the tuner tracks OK and is accurate, but overall it just feels a little flimsy.  It's very convenient, but not my favorite way to tune.
